Question

Ramesh solved 2/7 part of an exercise while Seema solved 4/5 of it. Who solved lesser part?

Answer 1

Convert both fractions to the same denominators:

$\text {Ramesh = } \dfrac{2}{7} = \dfrac{2 \times 5}{7 \times 5} = \dfrac{10}{35}$

$\text {Seema = } \dfrac{4}{5} = \dfrac{4 \times 7}{5 \times 7} = \dfrac{28}{35}$

Compare:

$\dfrac{10}{35} < \dfrac{28}{35}$

⇒ Ramesh solved lesser part

Answer: Ramesh solved lesser part
